Now, start pumping. Rhythm is your friend. Don’t jackhammer the handle like you’re trying to start a lawnmower in a hurry. Smooth, steady strokes will fill the ball faster and keep you from overheating.
Take breaks. This isn’t a race. Look at your lumpy sphere, and marvel at how it’s growing. Each pump is a tiny victory. You are literally creating a piece of fitness equipment from nothing but air and willpower.

The “Doughy” Warning Sign
At some point, the ball will feel like a massive, soft marshmallow. Stop here. Do not keep going until it’s rock hard. It needs room to stretch and be bouncy.
Remove the pump quickly. Yes, some air will escape. That’s normal. It’s the ball’s way of saying “hello.” Immediately push the little white plug firmly into the hole. Your ball is now alive!
